Really nice depth there, Tick. Next time you set up a shot like this try getting your foreground even closer and bigger in the camera. It'll make it a really deep composition. Try it out by say getting those reeds into the bottom left hand corner of your picture and having it fill up more space in the frame.

There are a bunch of them around here and I'm sure there's a bunch around your area. Just gotta find them. I found mine after many hours of aimless road tripping with a friend of mine. One of the best ways to find cool stuff to photograph.

There's an abandoned factory near where I live. It's prohibited to go in, and in order to do so you have to find a way to crawl under the fence (which isn't easy, especially since they started putting up barbed wire under the fence as well). You also have to time your entrance, so that no one from the road sees you - when no one's around you have to climb up a few metres to get to the fence, then quickly crawl under the fence and jump down a stone ledge on the other side to hide behind. After that you're pretty safe. Lots of people do it, I've been there twice. It's like a maze - to get to the cellar floors (there are four floors beneath ground level, but the last one is flooded), you have to first get up to the third floor and down from there - if you get lost, you're pretty screwed. The bottom floors are really creepy, with abandoned showers and broken glass and equipment everywhere. It's a really cool place, and the adrenaline kick isn't too bad either.

I have a few pictures from there, but due to bad lightning conditions I only have pictures from the floors above ground. They are pretty boring compared to the lower floors, but oh well.
